According to a post on VideoGamer, content is part of the Paper Trail storyline, which is a side-story which includes both an online and in-game story arc where players will set out to discover the full story behind the D.U.P.'s occupation of Seattle. Web-based investigations will play a part in this.

Access to new content will be released each week for six weeks and will be accessed in-game. The content was developed by both Sucker Punch and ARG company 42 Entertainment.

The 300MB update also includes the Cole's Legacy Content Pack available for free to those who pre-ordered the game. Additional tweaks and improvements made to difficulty, increased NPC density, and graphics will be applied as well.
